Deciding how to allocate scarce resources from one video project to the next
One of the biggest challenges of individual video projects and utilizing videos, in general, as part of your brand strategy is deciding how to allocate resources. The huge expense of traditional shoots can eat up project budgets. The cumbersome logistics leave little room for experimentation. Lengthy timelines mean that, by the time the video finally rolls out, the topic is already old news; the time-to-market was simply too slow to be as effective as possible.
OpenReel reduces these concerns by virtually enabling distributed and hybrid teams worldwide to more efficiently and sustainably create professional-quality video at scale — from their couch using equipment they already have on hand and regardless of their film experience.
Reduce cost on crews, equipment, travel & locations
The huge expense of traditional video shoots can eat up your team’s budget with the cumbersome logistics leaving little room for experimentation, and the lengthy timelines means that, by the time the video finally rolled out, the topic may already old news: the time-to-market was simply too slow to be as effective as possible. Video and creative teams can save up to 90% of traditional video shoots. Customers have been able to film 10x the content with their existing budget using remote video creation. You can’t afford not to. OpenReel clients like Compass and ViacomCBS have enjoyed incredible ROI from deploying OpenReel into their production workflows.

Directors can also set clip naming conventions to further customize the organization system, and enjoy the convenience of batch downloads.
